"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

OT - Tigers vs. Yankees Game Two

Cabrera with a two-run shot into the short porch to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead in the first inning. It'd be nice if the offense can keep it up and put a nice big number up to give the Tigers home field advantage in a 3 game series.

These announcers are such ridiculous Yankee homers it's making it hard to watch the game. They're actively trying to jinx Scherzer. Not that it makes a difference in the game, but it is petty and annoying.

History is written by the victors-Winston Churchill

Living in NY, I don't think people realize just how homerish the media is for the Yankees. People I've met who have lived here there whole lives think it is completely normal for announcers to be rooting for a no-hitter to be broken up, for the Yankees to never have committed an error, and for every close pitch to go their way. Whenever the Tigers have been on in the city, I've had to watch the Yankee feed so I'm not surprised. But this is obstensibly a national broadcast, yet it sure does feel like a YES network game.

I think Austin Jackson's strikeout rate is pathetic. The management needs to re-evaluate his future with the team. Yes, his defense is awesome, but at some point a leadoff guy has to make better contact.

Leyland is calling a solid game today. Sometimes Leyland trusts his relievers too much but actually gave Scherzer the 7th. When he struggled, he went to our best non-Valverde reliever instead of going with Coke or something even worse.

He did the same thing yesterday, but it didn't work out. Instead of going with the lefty-lefty matchup he brought in the best K option in the bullpen - Al Albequerque. It didn't quite workout.

Today it worked out great with Benoit. Long story short, manager's make logical decisions and it is up to the players to make the manager look good. Just like the saying goes, when you win the players get the credit. When you lose, the manager takes the blame.

I think the best non-decision of the series that has proven correct thus far was to NOT send JV out today as an emergency starter being down 2-0.

benoit >>> albequerque We didn't need a K with 2 outs just an out (Cano is great but not a god). Also, Alberquerque is prone to walks...fister is not. The previous batter was the first non-intentional walk he gave up. Fister should have stayed in.

Fister had given up 3 hits and 2 walks in that inning. He had walked Granderson right before Cano came up. He had to be pulled, he was done. Especially since Cano bombed one the other way his previous AB against Fister.
